I am stretching myself and trying something new for this, so I am super busy right now because if it doesn't work out I've got to think of something else! We will be on vacation 10/25-11/02 and I want to be done before that so I'm not crocheting all through our trip!

Click that pic ^ to go to the full postSo I got it in my head that I needed to make an apple with a razorblade in it for a Halloween decoration. Then it grew from there, and this little guy was born.He's pretty simple, and would be cute in a candy dish in pastel colors with white twisty paper things for salt-water taffy(and without the needle, obviously)I used an F hook and sport-weight yarn because that's what I had on hand. I would've gone down a hook size or used thicker yarn if I could have. Let me know if I haven't done this right, it's my first pattern.Twisty papers (make 2)R1: Magic circle 6 sc (6) (leave a long tail on your mc for sewing on)R2: *sc inc, sc 2* twice (R3: *sc inc, sc 3* twice (10)R4: *sc inc, sc* around (15)R5: *sc inc, sc 2* around (20)FO, weave end in, set aside.Main partR1: Magic circle 6 sc (6)R2: *sc inc* around (12)R3: *sc inc, sc* around (18)R4: *sc inc, sc 2* around (24)R5: In back loops only, sc around (24)R6-10: sc 24R11: In back loops only, *sc2tog, sc2* around (18)Embroider/attach face, sew on twisty papers (seriously, what ARE those called?), stuff almost to top.R12: *sc2tog, sc* around (12)Finish stuffing.R13: *sc2tog* aroundFO, weave in end, scrunch twisties to look natural.

Here's my kitty, Handsome Rob - or more commonly Rob the Blob, setting the tension for my yarn.It's hard crocheting with a toddler using my arm for a headrest, he's so kind to offer to help me out. Unfortunately he adds a few of his own "fibers" to the yarn, and occasionally flosses as it passes by his face.

Yaaay, I received today! Sorry for the crap pics, my good camera was thrown across the room a few too many times by my 20-month-old, so I have to use my cell. And because I can't find the adapter to upload from the tiny card, I have to text them to facebook (and explain to all my friends what they are and what everything means and what is Discworld and who is Terry Pratchett), save them onto the computer, and then upload them to craftster!

Here's everything, an amaaaazing cross-stitch, a hand-carved golem stamp, stickery bonus, and it was all wrapped up in an owl Halloween bandanna!The stitches are so tiny! And I love the tiny cabbages, too perfect!I wish you could see how incredibly detailed this is.And my very own golem! I will be stamping him (it, lol) everywhere!

It's funny, when we were assigned partners I remarked at how similar we were, and then we go and send each other very similar stuff (a stamp and a stamp!) but we still had totally different ideas.

You should've heard the big "OHHHHHH" I just did. Duh, I know that stuff. For some reason I was thinking the plastic stuff you make lanyards with. I will have to pick some of that up and try it! Thanks so much for the help.

I've had the book for a while, but haven't made anything from it yet. I got Amigurumi Two when it came out and made a bluebird (from the mobile, just the big one) and an airplane.The bluebird was a gift for my grandma because she taught me to crochet. I moved 1200 miles away and couldn't go home when she passed away two months later, so my mom hung it up at her funeral for me

Yay, I'm glad you like them! I was in such a rush to send I didn't write a note! I noticed too late that the bottom of the stamp curves downward so to get a good print you have to really jam on that end without letting the rest of it move around. An angry letter to Speedball is in the works. Oh, and it cracks me up that the Feegles have no use for the gold after they get it, so that's why I included the "dinner plates" lol.

It was intended to be used to wrap foods to keep them fresh in the freezer. It's not around a whole lot, and many stores don't even carry it. I assume that's because it's kind of obsolete now with the nice freezer ziploc bags.
